Jeremie Frimpong

Griff hitting the post with the header yesterday, the goal he set up against County.


He done it several times yesterday infact.

 

I listened on the radio so missed that yesterday . Agree with the Ross County one.

Still think it's something him and whoever is playing the opposite side need to do more of and would help us through the rest of the season.

 

Aye definitely, I think now we’re seeing a more crowded box we’ll get to see that.

Taylor having 5 assists this season was at the start of the season when we were crowding the box.

 

I hate his press conferences these days.

 

Roma focuses on Frimpong to reinforce the right wing. After seeing Reynolds , American full-back in force at Dallas FC disputed between Juventus and Club Brugge , as Romanews.eu learns, the Capitoline club would have strongly aimed at the Celtic class 2000 winger. In the last few hours, in fact, Roma have intensified contacts with the Scottish club and the footballer's entourage to try to take important steps forward in the negotiations. The goal is to try to lower Celtic's claims. Now, however, he is the number one target for the right wing, a player appreciated by Fonseca and Tiago Pinto and whom they hope to see in the capital immediately.

 

Celtic fullback Jeremie Frimpong has maintained that his focus is fully on the Parkhead side after he was linked with a January move to Roma.

There was speculation around the 20-year-old, whom Celtic signed from Manchester City for a £300k development fee 18 months ago, going to Italy but Parkhead manager Neil Lennon is reluctant to allow anyone to leave in the upcoming window.

“I am just focussed on Celtic right now,” said the fullback. “I am at Celtic so I am focussed on that.”


If Celtic are to repair the damage done in the opening months of the campaign they will need all players on point. Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths started the Boxing Day game against Hamilton Accies with Lennon optimistic that the duo can recapture the fruitful partnership that they showed from January to Covid-lockdown in March.

Griffiths’ fitness has been the subject of a difference of opinion between the player and his manager but what is not beyond doubt is the natural instinct he has when he is on the pitch.


The Scotland striker moved into elite company at Celtic las month when he made it into the top 20-goalscorers with the Parkhead side and Frimpong is optimistic that that both the Frenchman and Griffiths can spark Celtic into a run of form that would enable them to close the gap on Rangers .

The Ibrox side hold a 16-point lead over Lennon’s side and even with three games in hand still to play, the chasm is sufficient enough to cause concern. As such, every game has an intensity to it with Celtic in the position where they can ill afford to lose further ground.

Certainly, Frimpong has not given up hope.

“They [Griffiths and Edouard] help each other out and it is a massive boost for the team,” said Frimpong.

“In football you can’t win every game,” he said. You will lose some games. It is just football. Anything can happen in football.”

Deployed as both a right wing-back and a right fullback at times this season, Frimpong has insisted he has no real preference for where he plays. However, given that his best return in terms of chipping in with goals in a season is just 2, the bar shouldn’t be too high when it comes to offering more of an attacking threat.


“I think that there is competition every day, even in training,” he said. “Obviously everyone wants to play so there is competition everywhere and that is good for the team because it makes everyone work harder.

“Right-back or right-wing is the same for me, just one is a bit higher up. I don’t mind. I am comfortable with both roles.”

 

I though he was excellent today. Ran their defence ragged and got in behind all the time.

Was it Pawlett that wiped him out in the first half? I thought that yellow was bordering on a red as he went for the legs.

 

He was immense today. Final ball let him down at times, but still could've had a couple assists and was constantly tormenting them.

 

He’ll be an assist machine as soon as he learns how to cross a baw.

 

Played well today. At last, he’s started to try and go by his man. He needs to continue to do that

 

And learns to cut back inside and use his left peg. Too many times he hits the endline, when he should be checking, and cutting back onto his left leg. He has awesome potential, the right attitude, just needs fine tuning with proper coach

 

Learn how to * cross

 

Can't cross a ball *

 

I maintain he's a 100m sprinter and not a footballer

 

Sad but true. Forever waiting on him to actually make a cross that doesn’t end up nowhere

 

Stop talking *. He was one of our best players up until the red card.

His crossing is poor but he was good defensively and was causing them problems down the wing.

 

His final ball is embarrassing..

I've never seen two fullbacks get so much of the ball and have fuckall come from it..
